Forearm supports, also known as arm rests or ergonomic arm supports, are assistive devices designed to provide stable and comfortable support for the forearms while working. They help reduce strain on the shoulders, neck, and wrists by promoting better posture and minimizing muscle fatigue. Commonly used in office settings or for individuals with repetitive strain injuries, forearm supports improve comfort during prolonged computer use or manual tasks. By distributing weight evenly and limiting awkward arm positions, these supports aid people with limited arm strength, joint pain, or neurological conditions. Incorporating forearm supports can enhance productivity and reduce discomfort, making them an essential accommodation for accessible work environments.
To use forearm supports effectively, position them at a height that allows your forearms to rest comfortably without lifting your shoulders. Adjust the angle and padding to reduce pressure points. Use them consistently during tasks that require arm stability, such as typing or assembly work. Regularly check and clean the supports to maintain hygiene and function. Replace worn padding or components to keep the support comfortable and effective over time.
